Abstract (en)

A cap-like head backing cover (22) includes a plurality of types of cover components (31-37). The plurality of types of cover components (31-37) include cover main body portions (41,52,71,81,91), and connecting means (49a-130b) capable of separably connecting and combining the cover main body portions (41,52,71,81,91) of one of the cover components (31-37) to and with the cover main body portions (41,52,71,81,91) of another at least one of the cover components (31-37). The cover main body portions (41,52,71,81,91) of the plurality of types of cover components (31-37) are connected to and combined with each other by the connecting means (49a-130b), to form the cap-like head backing cover (22) which includes the plurality of types of cover components (31-37) and is independent. With the helmet having this arrangement, even when a helmet wearer whose head shape is different from that of an average human head is to wear the helmet, the helmet can be matched to the head of the helmet wearer substantially optimally. The helmet size can be not only partially decreased but also partially increased. The cover component (31-37) at an arbitrary portion of the cap-like head backing cover (22) can be exchanged with a comparatively, simple operation. Also, head backing cover (22) can be attached to an impact-on-the-head absorbing liner (23) or the like comparatively easily.
